Consider an element `""_(15^(31)X` and answer the following questions
To which group does it belong?

Explanation

To determine the group of the element \( _{15}^{31}X \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the Atomic Number
The atomic number of the element is given as 15. This means that the element has 15 protons and, in a neutral atom, it will also have 15 electrons.

### Step 2: Write the Electronic Configuration
The electronic configuration of an element describes how the electrons are distributed in the atomic orbitals. For 15 electrons, we fill the orbitals in the following order:
- K shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
